I give it a 3 because USD 50 is too much for such a software, and because it seemed a little bloated when I ran the trial version.

I use a freeware small program called Scanner, and it gives me all the instruents I need.

Very nice and effective disk content drill-down tool. I find the commandline interface and xml output particularly useful at it allows me to extend it by making my own web based reports. Also, the developer is extremely helpful and responsive.

This version has a few problems by net-drives (Novell). I test it on two computers with german OS (Windows XP). It hangs permanently, if i scan compressed folders; then it create a "localisation error".
A alternative I found unter http://www.jam-software.de - call TreeSize prof.

Better you use TreeSize professionell (www.jam-software.de)-you receive special reduce prices for students and you can install a lot of languages.

The best in it's class. Scans quickly and provides professional looking graphs, both pie and bar. Results can be exported in several kinds of formats. Excellent customer support. Seems author doesn't sleep until application issues are resolved.

It is completly useless for Total Commander users that can use DirSizeCalc plugin for free:
